[issue30611] Windows HTML Help always opens maximized

[Christian Ullrich]

Christian Ullrich added the comment:

I'll have to start with the ceterae again, won't I? OK, since you asked:

Ceterum censeo: This behavior could have been easily adapted to differing local 
requirements if MSI had been used as the distribution package format by 
appropriately transforming  the Shortcut table at install time, but burn 
bundles do not expose an interface to apply transforms to individual component 
MSIs, needlessly disabling this unique advantage of the Windows Installer 
technology.

(Apologies to people who know Latin. Unless I'm really lucky here.)

Not sure if the tracker will let me close the bug myself; if it doesn't, know 
that I have tried.

Steve Dower added the comment:

Opening in normal size (i.e. randomly positioned somewhere on the screen) is 
equally annoying.

PR is welcome, but I won't be approving it. Someone else might.

Certainly doesn't need to be backported - this is not a bug.

Zachary Ware added the comment:

Does 'Show="normal"' cause the usual behavior of "do whatever it was doing when 
last closed"?  Does 'Show=' need to be specified?

Would you like to submit a PR?

[issue30611] Windows HTML Help always opens maximized

[Christian Ullrich]

New submission from Christian Ullrich:

The CHM help files on Windows always open maximized. I would prefer they opened 
in a regular window instead, because the current behavior is annoying.

Fix: In Tools/msi/doc/doc.wxs line 34, change 'Show="maximized"' to 
'Show="normal"'.
